The Center for the Defense of the Constitution (Cedecon), urges the magistrates of the Constitutional Court (CC), to speedily resolve cases of national transcendence "whose deadlines have expired so much, as their backwardness harms the rule of law" .

Through a statement, the Cedecon states that all cases must be resolved in time, but speed up the rulings when dealing with matters of national importance.

"Committed to the prevalence of the Rule of Law, the need for legal certainty and the defense of the Constitution", this entity states:

"Your concern because the Constitutional Court in cases of equal importance to the national transcendence, has acted unevenly, resolving some issues in very short times and other matters of equal or greater importance, has not yet resolved, incurring a delay unjustified. "

"It is the responsibility of the magistrates of the Constitutional Court, in the exercise of their functions, not to incur unjustified delays in certain cases that, by not resolving them and dealing with matters of national importance, generate serious economic and social effects, as well as a attrition and lack of credibility and impartiality in the Constitutional Court ".
